Yamu and Kari walked along the boardwalk towards the training dojo until he got word if had made it in this year. The little girl tugged on his cloak ?Yamu?why are we here? I wanna go see space some more!?
?It?ll be there when we are finished, and we are here Ms. Impatience, because this is the greatest fighting competition in the Quadrant.?
?But, why do you fight??
Yamu finished buy a pair of corn dogs and the two sat down on a bench. ?There is a kind of purity to one on one combat.? He took a big bite and talked while he chewed, ?When two warriors face off against one another, knowing all the benefits and challenges, and put everything they have out there, there?s an indescribable beauty of a man, or woman?s,? he said with a smile to his young companion, ?spirit. To watch a fight is the only thing I know to inspire and disgust with equal power.?
?No?I mean why do you fight? You made Arlia so peaceful?you stopped the war?then you come here to fight?? She kicked her short legs under the bench while she tore of parts of the corn dog and placed them in her mouth.
?You are very smart for being very little. Arlia was and is different. The Arlians don?t want to fight, they want to paint, or have a family, or tend their farm. War isn?t fighting?it is just nasty business. While I can try and stop people from fighting?I will never be able to stop people from wanting to fight. Even on Namek, the most peaceful planet I would bet anywhere, practices a defensive form of combat. If I can give them the same cathartic?? He could see the word went far over his tiny companion?s head, ?release. If they can get the same release by watching shows like Dante?s Abyss, then maybe our Quadrant will cycle back to a more peaceful state.? A pair of giggling Saiya-Jin girls with pink streaks in their hair walked over and asked for an autograph. Yamu gave it to them with a smile then turned back to Kari. ?People should leave the horrors of fighting to people like me, people who have to because we can?t do anything else.?
?I wanna be like you, Yamu.?
H smiled as he tossed the empty corn dog stick into the trash, ?Big, veiny, and scary looking??
The little girl giggled, ?No, silly! I wanna help people! You always seem to help people?I wanna be good like you.?
?Well, far be it from me to say ?no? to a sweetheart like you. C?mon, we?ll head to the Dojo and give you your first lesson.?
